Reza Soleymani of Concordia University

In this talk, we present some basic background on quantum computing, some quantum computing algorithms as well as some practical applications. 

More than forty years ago, Richard Feynman suggested the use of quantum computers to solve problems intractable using digital computers.

However, it was only recently breakthrough technological advances as well as new developments in algorithms achieved quantum supremacy.

The most notable example so far is the Shor factoring algorithm that can crack RSA encryption, and most secure traffic on the web today.
In order to leap forward, industry, academia and more importantly society as a whole, needs collaboration between:

• Scientists: Physicists, Chemists
• Engineers: Electrical and Computer Engineers, Computer Scientists
• as well as Social Scientists, and people from many other disciplines.
